shooting pains @5wks + after FET BFP

[Singershope]

Hi all.

I just wanted to post to see if anyone else has ever experienced this but last night I had some very sudden shooting almost stabbing pains in which I can only describe as a kind of lightening crotch. I’ve never had it before but when I read how they feel it was like a mix of that and round ligament pain. I’m currently 5wks 4 days pregnant after a successful FET so I’m on both oestrogen and quite a bit of progesterone - cyclogest and lubion.

It’s so early on and I’m aware that apparently these types of things don’t tend to happen until much later so I’m very worried.

I have emailed the clinic but nothing back yet.

The pains only last led about 5 mins and then went and haven’t returned but now I’m super on edge and feel a bit tense there.

No other symptoms at all. Has anyone else ever had this, so early on?

Thanks so much.

Congratulations 💐🎊🙏 I think it was on the website called 'the bump' that I read about the lightening pains, hope you read some reassuring info soon x

Hi, Thankyou. I’ll have a look. I did speak with my clinic and they don’t seem to concerns with any pain if they do subside, only if they persist or are constant.

Thanks again for replying 🙏🏼

I’ve had this constantly on and off and I’m now almost 24 weeks. One of the things people don’t seem to tell you to expect!!!

Oh really! Yes I’ve not heard much about it, so am worrying so much now even though it’s only happened once!

That’s amazing you’re almost at 24hr wks now! I’m sure the worry doesn’t get any easier! I’m only 5wks 5 days so very on edge!

I didn’t think it was normal to have shooting pains so early but nothing else seems to have happened apart from on and off mild cramps/ stretching pains.

When did you first experience the shooting pains? Wishing you all the very best for the rest of your pregnancy 😊

The worrying does slightly get less tbh but then there’s always another milestone you are looking to reach. I’ve only started to really enjoy my pregnancy after my 20 weeks scan.

I had them from very early on. I bent over once in lidl and it made me gasp. Definite shooting pain and right down low.

Oh wow! Well it’s always good to hear when you’re not the only one! It made me worried that the worst had happened! But yes, they certainly stop you in your tracks and take your breath away a bit! That’s great to hear that you can now enjoy things as you should be able to. I know what you mean. My next milestone is simply the viability scan which I’m terrified about, but I’m sure the next one is that 12 week one and so on, so I completely get it. Best of luck with everything and to enjoying your pregnancy from here on in! X

Yep. Mine were visibility scan, 9+4 (when I previously miscarried), 12 weeks, coming off progesterone (hiccup so back on), 16 weeks coming off progesterone, then 20 weeks. Next was 24 weeks - which is today according to my dates from hospital, though I know it’s really Friday as I obviously know my transfer date! Next one is 32 weeks growth scan 😱 which seems ages away….

Just take each day as it comes and be positive. Laws of attraction! Positivity attracts positivity and vice versa! Massine congratulations ☺️
